Abstract:
Jack Uldrich: Dr. Angela Belcher and a team of researchers at MIT reported that they had successfully created a battery that was assembled by a biological virus that binds gold and cobalt oxide.

Such a procedure might sound esoteric, and it might be even more difficult to imagine the commercial applications of a “virus-made” battery; but, in my opinion, this is very big news because such a procedure could revolutionize battery manufacturing.
